Congratulations on your first silver ring ! The hall mark indicates that it was made in Mexico , in the Taxco area - which is a major silver mining region
After WWI , an American designer- William Spratling went there and began employing local Mexicans to fabricate silver into formats ranging from candlesticks , ash trays , table wares , and jewelry . He was interested in involving the locals to incorporate early Meso American, and early Indigenous Mexican designs into wares / jewelry, to a lively World Market following the Mexican Revolution . On the inside of your ring - you can see a flawed stamp of Taxco, and Mex. ,Nice Find !

As suggested, the ring may have had inlayed turquoise between the structural elements - it was not uncommon from the 1950's - 70's for jewelers to mix small chips of turquoise and a clear epoxy ,to infill a hollow area on the top of a ring like yours .
